Default How fast does it go mister ?

Quick response - Cells 4.8v nominal vs 3.7v Lipo - cells win !!

More difficult answer - Cells may be faster down the straight if all speed controller settings are left alone vs Lipo but Lipo will be better in the infield due to lighter weight. Best thing to do though is go Lipo, nearly everone has gone over to it due to reliability and lack of available good cells. Benefits include a lighter car = less kinetic energy if you hit something else so breakages are not as great and less tyre wear with Lipo, again due to reduced weight.
